Well the media have started their lockdown campaign so it's probably only a matter of time before Boris caves in!
If he does, it needs to be soon, because if he leaves it and brings in a tighter restrictions - beyond masks etc - in the back end of November or in December, he will get the moniker of the man who ruined Christmas.
I feel a gentler, but faster set of restrictions now - eg, masks, back to table service at pubs, blah blah - might help enough? Though the NHS has always been bollixed once the cold weather arrives, that's nothing new.
Personally, I've kept with the mask in crowded areas, or amongst people I dont trust. And pretty much the same with meeting up with people, I remain choosy.
I'm not so worried about catching it myself, as I'm young enough and hopefully healthy enough to shake it off. I worry about passing it on to those people I care about who would have a rougher time should they catch it from me.
